Actually sounds a bit sado-masochistic if you ask me.

Jim,
I seem to remember you mentioned a book you owned on the battle of Quatre Bras.
Is this the book by Mike Robinson and if so does it give a good account of the battle with a OOB.Thinking of buying a copy on Amazon.UK.
Cheers,
Ray.

Ray,
It is indeed that book. It is written in a narrative rather than a descriptive style and doesn't have an OOB as we would recognise one but, it is a damn good read.
